I've sketched out the steps in http://potrou.net/hgdevguide/committing.html#long-term-development-of-features It doesn't cover importing work from SVN, but it should be as simple as "apply your current patch" where the text says "You can now work on your feature". A caveat of these instructions is that pushing a whole cpython-based repo will be quite slow unless you have a large upload bandwidth (most users have asymmetric connections). So we would like to offer a special command for committers to make a clone of a repository *from the server, to the server*. In my current prototype this is spelled as: ssh h...@hg.python.org clone <srcrepo> <dstrepo> for example: ssh h...@hg.python.org clone cpython features/pep-382 where "features/pep-382" will be a new repo on hg.python.org cloned from the cpython repo on hg.python.org. Meaning no heavy network transfer occurs. Then you clone the dest repo and the only changesets will have to push will be those representing your own work. If you think the "remote clone" trick above is good enough, I'll publicize it in the devguide.
